St Mirren vs Rangers: TV channel, kick-off time, team news, referee & VAR

Everything you need to know as Rangers kick-off their Scottish Premiership post-split fixtures against St Mirren in Paisley.

With just five games to go, Rangers are three points behind Celtic in the title race. Their ambition for the trophy is now out of Gers’ hands and one eye will be kept on the Hoops’ results across the city.

But at the same time, the Ibrox giants must focus on getting three points in every game until the end of the season to give themselves any chance at all.

The Buddies are the opponents this weekend and while they have secured a top six finish, they’ll be doing their all to clinch fifth with Dundee also chasing that spot in the table.

Below, Rangers News provide you with everything there is to know about the St Mirren encounter including how to watch on TV, the latest team news, an injury round-up plus the appointed officials.
